Fibro flareups can be caused by external things; a lot of stress or overexertion are big ones. For me, part of managing my illness is knowing my limits, reserving my energy, and not overexerting myself.

Yeah, hours in the day is a big PITA for me. It takes me so much longer to do things. And people really don't understand. If I say "We're going to drive instead of walk" people look at me like I not only have two heads, but am lazy to boot.
